THERE WAS NO ERROR.
The United States Supreme Conrt Re-
fuses to Grant Writ in the Anarch-
list Cases-No hope for the Reds.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2.-The SUI
preme court of the United States to-day
refused to grant writ of error in the
case of Spies ct al, the condemned Chi
cago Anarchists. The decision applies
to all the prisoners now under sentence
of death.
The announcement that the decision
would be rendered to-day drew an i'm
mense crowd of people to the court
room, including many prominent attor-
ncys.
it was few minutes after II o'clock
when the justices filed in and took their
seats on the bench.
Chief Justice Waite read the decision
without previously announcing whether
the writ would be granted or denied.
The decision is not as voluminous as
expected, although taking up each point
made by counsel for the defense and
finally disposing of it.
The court holds in brief: First, that
the first ten amendments to the consti-
tuition are limitations upon federal and
not upon state action; second, that the
iurv law of Illinois is upon its face valid
and constitutional, and that it is similar
in it's provisions to the statute which
was sustained in this court in the case
of Hopt VS.. the territory OF Utah; third,
that it does not appear in the
record that upon the evidence the
trial court should have declared the
juror San lord incompetent; fourth, that
the admission of the Johann
Most letter and the cross-exam-
nation of Spies, which counsel for the
prisoners maintained virtually COM
PEELED them to testify against them
selves, were not objected to in the
trial court and that therefore no
foundation was laid for the exercise
of this courts Jurisdiction; and fifth,
that the questions raised by Gen. Butler
in the cases of Spies and Fielden upon
the basis Of their foreign nationality
were neither raised nor decided in the
state courts and therefore cannot be
considered here. The writ of error
prayed for must consequently be denied.
There was no dissenting opinion.
The sentence of death will therefore
be carried out and the condemned men
will be hanged on November II.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. About

College Street, occupied by Weakley &

covered on fire, and owing to the in
fammable character of the material, the
flames spread rapidly through the build

Bank Alley south to the Western Union

flames. The fire department, after des-
perate efforts succeeded in limiting the
devouring elements within the space
described. Seven firms sustained losses,
aggregating about 1857, 200, insurance
$12S,0OO.
During the progress of the fire, the
walls of the building adjoining Bank

pie are known to have been injured,
some probably fatally. Among the

The question of incendiarism,
through often discussed, continues to
be one of interest for the precise rea-
son that arson does not diminish in
scope or consequence, despite string
emit state laws and wise insurance
precautions. Of the estimated an.
nual loss of S1OO,OOO,OOO in this
country by fire about $8C,OOO,OOO
may befairly ascribed to incendiarism,
a sum representing 20 per cent. of the
entire destruction. In paper read
before the Underwriters Association
of the Northwest Franklin Web
ster reported the number of note
worthy fires that occurred in the years
1884, 1885 and 1886 to be A, PIG,
and of these 5, 459 were attributed to
incendiarism. These are not reassur-
ing figures, and should tend to impress
the public with the sense of the danger
to which it's property is constantly
subjected by one or another character
of miscreant, and to consider if there
may not be some means whereby to
check the willful destruction and pro-
vide prompt and rigorous punish.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 4.-Oficers Stone

at the scene of the Fourteenth Street
explosion, while walking over the de-
bris last night, unearthed an iron semi
sphere which, on examination, proved
to be the remains of dynamite bomb.
The internal machine was carried to

their belief that the catastrophe was

TERRORISM IN TEXAS.

Rowing Mexican Bandits.


Rowing Mexican Bandits.
BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Nov. 5.-A reign
of terror exists in the up-river border
counties between Edinburg and Roma,
the result of the shocking depredations
of Mexican bandits. Since the abduc-
ton of Senior Barara, whose friends had
to pay 81 800 ransom, almost every mer-
chant has received threatening letters
ordering payment of heavy sums on
penalty of abduction and torture. The
wealthy never travel without heavy
guard. The border sheriffs, who are
poorly paid, are doing what they can
with their deputies to hunt the robbers
down, and a small force of rangers has
been sent by Gov Ross to Rio Grande
City, but it is feared that the whole force
is not strong enough to round the
bandits up in such a long extent of
wild bottom and wooded country.
In the meantime the bandits
are continuing their work. On
Monday, at noon, they entered the
Havana Ranch. Stores were ransacked
and wrecked. The Attasosca ranch, on
the San Juan River, few miles above
Camargo, Mexico, has been attacked
and sacked, the bandits abusing and
outraging the people. They were pur-
sued by Mexican cavalry. Plasuelas,
leader, and another bandit were Sc
cured. Plasuelas was executed at Ca
MARCO yesterday morning and the other
will suffer the same fate. Lamadrido,
an active officer, has at his command all
the men that he wants, and gets step
in rank for every bandit captured.

in this building were many persons in
the neighborhood more or less cut and

diate vicinity on the opposite side of the
way the fronts of buildings were crushed

by the glare of fame and the figures

There are many theories to explain the
cause of the explosion. The general be-
lief is that escaping gas filled the cellar
and that Mr. Newman kept quantity
of kerosene oil and gasoline in the cell

took place. and the rapid fire and the
fumes while it burned, strengthens this
theory The financial loss will amount

New YORK, Nov. "a Macon, Ca,
special to the Herald to-day says there
are considerable doubts as to whether
Jefferson Davis will return to his isolated
home at Beauvoir, Miss, alive. His
condition, to say the least, is extremely
precarious. For several years troubled
with serious affection of the heart, the
excitement CT last week served
only to agcravate his all
ment. Since last Saturday he has
been confined to his bed
and physician has been in daily at

can war is troubling him considerably
and BIS is scarcely able to walk. He ia
in a very enfeebled condition and his
family are fearful that he will not recover
from the exhaustion.
MACON, Ga, Nov. 2.-Reports that Mr..
Jefferson Davis is in precarious condi-
ton are not correct. His health is bet
ter than it has been at any time since
he left Beauvoir. Last night he received

TTORKMEN WANT A SHARE.
Miners Demanding a Division of the Coal
BaronS' Doodle.


Special to The Evening Wisconsin,
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 5.-Unless the coal
barons and operators of Southern
Illinois accede to the demands of the
miners another coal strike will probably
be inaugurated next Monday. At the
convention held few days ago in East
St. Louis, attended by delegates repre-
senting all the miners in that district, a
resolution in the form of an ultimatum
was adopted demanding an advance in
the price of digging from 40 to 6l3
cents per ton and corresponding wages
for machine miners. Notwithstanding
the constant and continuous advances in
the price demanded for coal by the mine
operators, the belief prevails that the
petition Of the men Will be denied and
that similar scenes will be witnessed to
those that occurred in the territory
around East st. Louis couple of years
ago. Until the law steps in to put a
limit to the avarice and greed of the
coal owners the producers claim that
they are entitled to share in at least
some portion the enhanced and enhanc-
ing prices extorted by the coal barons
from the public.
